Iam very glad that arrangements have been made with Grimm.

Ihope he is also publishing theStatement Against the Organising
Committee Secretariat
Abroad.[1]You say nothing about it!  Please answer.

Iasked youtwiceaboutSukhanov’spamphlet, but you
do not answer (whether you sent it to Olga).

WhataboutVorboteNo. 2? When is it coming out? Will there be
criticism of theInternationaleresolutions?

N.B.||

If there will, may I see it in themanuscript?

Ihave not seen the Juniusyet[2]; couldn’t you send it? (I’ll try Platten.)

Whatquestions haven’t I answered?I wroteto Kollontai and
will write again.

(Ifyou happen to see the MSS. forVorbotecouldn’t you send
them here for half a day?)

Salut,Lenin

[1]Thisrefers to the statement of protest of the C.C., R.S.D.L.P. to the
I.S.C. challenging the Organising Committee’s right to representation at
the Second International Socialist Conference. The statement mentioned the
fact that all organisations in Russia connected with the O.C. approved of
participation in the war industries committees, thereby taking a
“social-patriotism stand”.

TheCentral Party Archives of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism, under
the C.C., C.P.S.U., contain a proof-sheet of this statement, which fits the
size of theSotsial-Demokratcolumns. Lenin may have lent a hand
in drafting this protest. On June 10, 1916,Sotsial-Demokratcarried the announcement: “The C.C.’s statement to the I.S.C. concerning
representation of the O.C. will appear in the next issue”. The document
was not published at the time.

[2]Thisrefers to Rosa Luxemburg’s pamphletDie Krise der Sozial
demokratie, for a criticism of which see Lenin’s article “The Junius
Pamphlet” (present edition, Vol. 22, pp. 305–19).
